Match details

Hopefully, despite the result, we’ll get some of those who attended the game at the dog and duck to this game. The weather looks like being nice, would be great to see a big attendance.

With Worcester only needing 1 win to cement a play off spot it's difficult to see us getting anything from this game on present form. I just hope our team decides to turn up and play for a bit of pride / fun and sneaks a few points from the last remaining fixtures. Of course there's always the chance we could affect final play off positions and if the others decided to "conserve energy" or play a weakened team you never know. In the old days on the last day of the season with nothing to play for it was sometimes a case of playing players out of position (ie GK as striker) just for a laugh.

Harrison as a striker could do no worse than the present lot.

Hyperbolic to say the least.

I for one, have had my moments of doubts regarding our attacking options throughout the season, but the facts are that Jamal & Cairo are some of the most prolific attackers we have had in some time. Burrows has had some good moments in his tenure thus far. Johnston can always be relied on to provide a match winning moment.

Yes, they’ve gone off the boil but the midfield needs looking at before our strikers in my opinion.

With that said, we definitely need another wide attacker next season, and we will undoubtedly sign one in the summer.

Just the reaction I hoped for. Johnson, Burrows and Adams on the scoresheet.
